Tuition and Payments

Review the frequently asked questions regarding changing guidelines governing tuition payments for graduate students beginning fall 2011.

To qualify for a non-resident tuition waiver, you must:

  • be enrolled in 9 semester hours in each fall and spring semester (see the chart below for summer sessions);
  • turn in your tuition waiver to the office of Graduate Studies before the 12th class day of the regular semester and the 4th class day of the Summer semester.
  • be working in their obtained positions by the 12th class day of the regular semester and the 4th class day of the Summer semester. A paper copy of the payroll action document verifying employment in an eligible title code is required to be submitted with all summer tuition payment and tuition waiver requests. If available, a copy of the payroll action document can be submitted for fall and spring tuition payment and tuition waiver requests to expedite processing.
  • not already have a full-course waiver that does not meet requirements for a non-resident tuition waiver.
